Scott Pioli Non-News and Other Chiefs News
Still no word out of KC or Boston that the Chiefs and Pioli will get together, so for now I guess we continue to wait… I don’t know about you, but with every day that goes by I get more and more worried that Pioli might be changing his mind and not want to leave what he has in New England. Well, whatever happens happens I guess.
Other Chiefs News:
The Texans are talking to David Gibbs, who has coached the KC defensive backs for the last three years, about their empty secondary position. He is the son of Texans assistant head coach/offense Alex Gibbs.
Texans talk to son of assistant coach about DB job
Gibbs, 40, received permission from the Chiefs to interview for the job that was vacated when Jon Hoke was fired after the season. Gibbs began his NFL career in 2001 at Denver, where he coached the defensive backs for four seasons.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about the ‘breaking’ QB news: The Chiefs signed a QB!
Quarterback Ingle Martin on Monday agreed to terms of a two-year reserve/future free agent contract with Kansas City.
LOL…
Also, Nick over at WPI did a nice article on Chiefs Interim President/GM Denny Thum.
To last over 30 years in the same organization you have to be willing to work hard and start at the bottom. That perfectly describes Chiefs Interim President/GM Denny Thum, who has a love affair with the Chiefs that began way back in 1974, when he started his journey as a staff accountant.
Well, that’s all for now. Like many of you I am going to get back to work and wait for news that Pioli is the next GM of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Scott Pioli Will Be Annouced as Chiefs’ New GM Very Soon Is My Guess
As you can guess from the title of this post I think that within the next few days, or at least sometime this week, the Chiefs will announce Scott Pioli as the new General Manager for the Kansas City Chiefs.
With some of the candidates being told they are no longer being considered for the job, along with reports that talks have intensified, it has to only be a matter of time before this happens.
This bit of information (from the link above) is also encouraging:
Hunt, interim president Denny Thum, and Pioli have increased their dialogue and think they could form a strong partnership, which is crucial, because regardless of whom the Chiefs hire, that person will have to work closely with Thum.
As far as I’m concerned Scott Pioli is all but here, and I’m not the only one that feels this way: Patriots’ Pioli all but gone to KC
Once thought to be the Chiefs’ leading candidate, now there is no doubt: Pioli is their man, according to an NFL source. Perhaps more important, Pioli’s interest in the Chiefs and a potential new career challenge has grown. All that stands in the way is hashing out a contract agreement, or perhaps a late pitch from the Patriots (who lost offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to the Broncos yesterday as head coach), or a last-minute change of heart from Pioli. All scenarios remained in play as of early last night, but as reported in yesterday’s Globe, the intensity of talks between Pioli and the Chiefs has increased within the last 24-48 hours. Word out of Kansas City continues to be that the possibility of the sides coming together is picking up momentum. The key has been the comfort level between Pioli, Hunt, and team president Denny Thum
So there it is Chiefs fans. What do you think? Are you excited?
